Notes:
- After a wild bubble Friday, Saturday topped it. All three things that needed to go right for the last few teams in the field went wrong. FAU lost leaving the AAC as a 2 bid league and NC State and Oregon outright stole bids. Not to mention if there was any doubt for New Mexico they got the automatic bid. This resulted in wild movement at the bottom of the bubble. Virginia and Oklahoma were my big losers from yesterdays action. I think that right now, 4 teams are the best candidates for the last 2 spots. Texas A&M, St. Johns, Oklahoma, and Virginia. They all have unique strengths and weaknesses and it will come down to what the committee values and how much they factored in conference tournament performance. This is my best guess.
- I will post my final bracket around 5:30 today.
